Blackest Night's November - Round One

Share.

The darkness spreads to a variety of DC Universe titles.

By Richard George

Alright Blackest Night fans. It's time to start taking a look at the titles that are coming your way in November. This time around we're going to break up our reveals into segments. Today we're going to show you the books tying into the core series and in the coming days we'll lift the curtain on Blackest Night #5, Green Lantern #48 and Green Lantern Corps #42.

November is interesting because it doesn't contain the launch of new mini-series as many had speculated or figured. Instead Blackest Night is creeping into a select few titles - eight to be precise. That makes for a total of 11 books in the Blackest Night family for the month of November. And what about those other minis? Time will tell, but since we know Blackest Night: Flash is due in December, logic might suggest we'll see other projects debut that month as well.

Here are the affiliated titles. Be sure to check back soon as we explore some more of Blackest Night in the coming days. Oh, and keep in mind that not all of these covers are final.

The grasp of BLACKEST NIGHT knows no bounds, and it is now at the doorstep of Superboy-Prime. Believe it or not, Prime has met his match. The Black Lanterns know his deepest, darkest secrets and force Prime to feel emotions he's long discarded.

Plus, in the Legion of Super-Heroes co-feature, Dawnstar is on the trail of the person – or people – who have been causing so much trouble for the Legion. But does she get too close to the truth? Her Legion teammate Wildfire comes to her rescue, but are the duo able to discover just who is behind this villainous plot to destroy the known universe?

Retailers please note: This issue will ship with two covers. For every 10 copies of the Standard Edition (with a cover by Jerry Ordway and Francis Manapul), retailers may order one copy of the Variant Edition (with a cover by Francis Manapul and renamed and renumbered ADVENTURE COMICS #507). Please see the Previews Order Form for more information.

What's blue and gold and bloody all over? This BLACKEST NIGHT tie-in issue!

Booster Gold's worst fears are realized when Ted Kord comes back as a Black Lantern intent on killing his former best friend. Good thing there's another Blue Beetle around to help - but will Jaime Reyes be too late to save Booster's life?

When BLACKEST NIGHT falls, skeletons start coming out of the closets - and no one has more skeletons in his closet than Niles Caulder, founder of the Doom Patrol. Caulder has been playing god for years, and the time for a reckoning has come. The Doom Patrol thought they knew darkness. Find out how wrong they were in this BLACKEST NIGHT tie-in issue!

Meanwhile, in the Metal Men co-feature, trendy meets grotesque when the robots battle a group of living mannequins.
